St Josemaria’s love of singing
Tags:mp3,Audio
St Josemaria used to love singing love-songs, to which he gave a new meaning about loving God. “Never be afraid,” he said, “to use clean human love songs to sing about divine love. Because we love with one same heart. God loves us like that, madly, each of us, as if we were the only person on earth” (quoted by Ana Sastre,Tiempo de Caminar).
Below are mp3 versions of some of the songs used by St Josemaria for his prayer.
